This clip of 'Morning' from Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, op. 46 from the one-hour special Rick Steves' Europe: A Symphonic Journey, celebrates the unique cultural identity of Norwegians the folk songs, traditional customs, and awesome beauty of their native land. Morning calls up images of a sunrise over a majestic fjord. Fluttering woodwinds set a peaceful mood. Then comes that memorable flute melody, suggesting the rising sun and chirping birds, as the world awakes and warms on a pristine morn.
In Rick Steves' Europe: A Symphonic Journey Rick teams up with the Cascade Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Michael Miropolsky, on a musical tour that begins in the USA, then touches down in seven different European countries. The result is a performance that combines Europe's most stirring Romantic-era anthems with beautiful high-definition cinematography and Rick's insights into European history Date: 2020-08-09
